Abstract (en)
A demodulator (10) demodulates a PSK communications signal using a synchronizer (12), a period window detector (20), and a logic device (22). The synchronizer provides a transition signal representing reference edges of the communication signal. The period window detector, coupled to the synchronizer, establishes a time interval based on the period of the transition signal. Finally, the logic device, having logic inputs coupled to the outputs of the period-window detector, yields a logic output signal. The demodulator preferably includes a carrier boundary detector (34) for framing messages and minimizing noise detection in a manner that permits signal strength measurements over a wide d ynamic range. <IMAGE>
